Sydney after a swim in the ocean. She is not sure she liked it. :)
Sydney & her new Orangutan doll.
We went to Kota Kinabalu last weekend. It is only an hour flight north of Miri located in the state of Sabah.

We stayed at the Nexus Resort which was a 40 minute drive from town but was located on a beautiful stretch of white beach with crystal blue water.

There was so much to do in KK but we decided to hold off on most of it until Syd gets a little bit older. Things like going to visit these beautiful islands, hiking Mount Kinabalu and hiking the rain forest. We decided to go to 1 Borneo which was hyped as "THE" newest shopping extravaganza. Our hopes for some simple items like shorts & an activity center for Syd were crushed once we got there & learned it was nothing more than a maze of boutique style shops filled with a few of this and a few of that - bummer!
We also learned that traveling with a 4 month old is very different than traveling with a 6 week old! She cried the entire flight there, poor baby. Luckily we thought to swaddle her & I got her to sleep before the flight home & she was an angel. Also, a full resort with many restaurants, etc. is lost on her. :) She was much more interested in the pool than the ocean. And by the time she was done swimming she was ready to sleep for hours so we would just order room service.
Great trip but lesson learned. Next time get the cheap hotel with the pool & room service. :)
